As a URI alum with a lifetime of scars from horrifying rooting interests (Bills, Mets, Sabres, etc), I feel obligated to warn against that course of action.
But Rhody does play some nice D and it sounds like OU doesn't have much of an plan B if you shut down their super frosh, so maybe it's a good call. The line (and Rhody's seeding) was certainly knocked down by them losing 3 of their last 5. But they have generally shown the ability to close out games this year so that bodes well in the tourney.
